Brawley Municipal Code Art. VIII Public Facilities District

Zone PF (Public Facilities) is established to encourage an orderly and harmonious development of public facilities.

(Ord. No. 2008-04 § 1.)

(a) Permitted uses, accessory uses, and conditional uses within the public facilities zoning district are described in table 27.111.

(b) Certain uses may not be suitable in every location in the public facilities district and therefore may require planning director or planning commission discretionary review through the conditional use permit process described in section 27.272. Table 27.111, Uses by Public Facilities District, lists uses that are suitable:

1. Permitted by right;

2. Permitted as accessory to the public use;

3. Permitted as conditional uses; and

4. Prohibited in the public facilities zoning district.

(c) The planning commission may also permit other uses similar to the uses permitted by right in table 27.111 that the planning commission finds to fall within the intent and purpose of these zones, that will not be more obnoxious or materially detrimental to the public welfare or to property in the vicinity of said uses, and which the planning commission finds to be of a comparable nature and of the same class as the uses permitted by right in table 27.111.

(Ord. No. 2008-04 § 1.)
